Comments: Made with excess carbonated water from ginger beer fill. We combined the dissolved hot sugar syrup and extract with the ice-cold carbonated water. It foamed over due to the increased temperature from the hot sugar syrup. Then we sealed the pressure vessel and shook it in an attempt to get a uniform solution. It was not sweet enough at all, and when we went to fill it, it foamed like crazy. This was MISERABLE to fill, so we only filled 1 12oz bottle and 2 growlers (each with an extra 1/2 cup sugar in them). If we try this again, we'll try filling each bottle mostly with carbonated water, then adding sugar and extract to taste.
